First time I have to root for a NY Team and they lose. Lucky nachos are not enough and the Pats miss the playoffs at 11-5 even though several shittier teams (with less wins) make it in. First time a team with 11 wins doesn’t make it in since the 1985 Denver Broncos. Oh well. Needed something to cheer me up.

Quaker Oatmeal is something of a classic food in America and it happened to be on sale yesterday at the market. Seeing it sitting on my counter gave me an idea: oatmeal cookies.

The dough is similar to the one used for chocolate chip cookies with the addition of oatmeal and cinnamon. I made a batch with raisins and another with chocolate chips.

The finals

They came out really well. Almost made me forget about the Pats. Almost.
